The cure for being single when nothing else has worked5 things I love about the djembe drum
Article by John Berry
Have you heard about heard about the djembe drum; it is an african drum played with your hands. It’s basically a hand drum… but not just any hand drum, it’s a djembe! This is the coolest hand drum around, in my opinion, and I’d like to share this article about why I love it so much. 1. Wherever there’s a djembe drum there’s a party! We used to have international students who lived and worked with us in Scotland. There was a few guitar players, I’m a keyboard player, some really good singers, and a guy who had a djembe drum. The djembe was so cool; it added rhythm and some beat to our jams, and made us sound so much better. Most of us went to South Africa in springtime as a relief outreach for two months. Lots of the group came back with a djembe drum, after jamming and learning from the african drum geniuses we met in Johannesburg. Seriously, the djembe drum became part of our group, and there was usually someone drumming away in a corner with a guitarist. 2. It’s portable. You can take your djembe drum with you anywhere (except underwater). It rarely loses tune, so you can just take it out and start to play. We’ve used it in a park under a tree, in a church, in a cafe, in a home, on a high street, on a beach, in a subway
